Me and my mom were at the grand opening of the re-built Globe Theater in June 1997. In fact, our seats were only about 20 feet away from the Queen herself that night. My mom also bought 3 of those name stones that go along the outside of the theater. One with her name, my name, and my dad’s name who had passed away years before. Throughout the 90's, my mom was very involved in Chicago with the fundraising for the rebuilding of The Globe. It was such a huge passion for her. Unfortunately, my mom now is very sick and I think I’m going to lose her soon. I just wanted to pay tribute to her here and say that the Globe Theater has always been so special to her and one day I’ll come back here with my kids and show them those name stones and tell them how their Nannan helped build this place. I love you mom ♥️
Summary: - open air - 3000 spectators, most standing in front of stage - 1 penny entrance, extra penny for roof, extra penny for chair with cushoin - sixpence gets you a chair behind the stage, and lets ppl see you lol - no artificial lighting - no sets - no front curtain, but there was a curtain space in the back to reveal people - just a platform with the actors, no mics etc - canopy held up by two columns: rain protection & it's painted with stars and conveys the heaven - costumes were super important - male-only - ages 12-20 usually - trapdoor below stage to express hell, and other things underground - devices to do descents did exist, just not as much
What I learned Theater had no artificial lighting -no curtain/no illustration It's a platform, on platform are the actors(they have a powervoice) Talented actors ages 12-20 The theater held 2,000-3,000 ppl The theater paid more for costumes that the play
The theatre were open air and accommodate 3,000 standing around the stage Money to get in was put in a box hence where the term box office comes from Depending on what you pay, you’ll have a different seat Lowest will let you stand in the gallery A bit more will give you a cushion Highest will allow you to sit behind stage or even on stage No use of artificial lighting, sets or curtains Use of powerful voices as well as good memory Two columns holding a canopy in the stage Most valuable thing was a costume Costume carried symbolic meaning All female roles in a play were played by boys rather than women Women weren’t expected to be good actors The canopy on stage would often be painted to represent the heaven amongst stars Just like there is a heaven, there is also a hell in the space between the stage and audience
What they tell you: "Shakespeare is the most widely read author in the English language and his plays are performed all over the English speaking world!" What they don't tell you: "...because people are forced to read and watch it." This is a good video. Good info about staging. Quickly delivered and none of the made up stuff about "Shakespeare"s life.
I have liked this video. Learnt a lot about the seat arrangements and the main stage of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. The narration is also very helpful for Shakespeare's lovers. Thanks for uploading this.
1. When was Shakespeare’s own Globe Theatre built? 2. What privileges did you have if you had another penny? 3. Where could you get if you had sixpence? 4. Why did the actors need to have powerful voices? 5. Why were the costumes valuable? 6. How was the canopy decorated? What did it symbolize? 7. What Shakespeare’s play is trap door used in? 8. Why was it important to change the costumes? 9. What other parts of the theatre could the actors use? 10. What helped to produce some illusory effects?
You know I'm 31 years old and I had a history teacher in high school that was actually really good and made me appreciate Shakespeare by explaining that everyone in this theater was drunk and yelling all the time, but I read this comment and just like that I'm miserable and I'm turning off the video now.
Londoners, it seems, were indifferent as to the site of the original theatre, and it took an American actor (Sam Wanamaker) to launch and steer the project to rebuild the Globe.

this is actually community service
I had to watch this for my theatre exam. You're the best!
if you’re here because you want to be and not because your teacher made you watch this, congrats you’re better than all of us
wow, this brings back memories of freshman English class...professor Greenblatt is the reason I fell in love with Shakespeare....amazing teacher
Stephen Greenblatt? Lucky you!
Lol guessing everyone else's teacher also made them watch this
yup 🙃
same
I'm rewatching this for my English test in two days. English being my 1st foreign language as a German at a German highschool.
Viel Erfolg!!
Hallo!
My teacher made me watch it, but I did find the video well made and informative. Thanks Ms. Webster.
yeah same my teacher made us watch this 2
Professor Greenblatt provides a fascinating insight into the workings of the original Globe Theatre. He is both engaging and incredibly knowledgeable!
take a shot every time he says "uhh"
My teacher is making me watch this
Takes a shot everytime a comment says their teacher is making them watch this.
88 shots. i can smell colors
i'm being forced to watch this because I don't want to fail my online class
Just like me
Same
SAME
Same just in person😊
What I learned
Theater had no artificial lighting
-no curtain/no illustration
It's a platform, on platform are the actors(they have a powervoice)
Talented actors ages 12-20
The theater held 2,000-3,000 ppl
The theater paid more for costumes that the play
My teacher made me watch this 🤬
Thanks now I can do my homework easier
Kiss_My_ Axe thank you
thankk youuuu
ugh thank u this sums up our assignment
who else was forced to watch this
Me
not me...
Me I'm so bored
me
Same but it’s kinda interesting
My theater teacher made me watch this
The theatre were open air and accommodate 3,000 standing around the stage
Money to get in was put in a box hence where the term box office comes from
Depending on what you pay, you’ll have a different seat
Lowest will let you stand in the gallery
A bit more will give you a cushion
Highest will allow you to sit behind stage or even on stage
No use of artificial lighting, sets or curtains
Use of powerful voices as well as good memory
Two columns holding a canopy in the stage
Most valuable thing was a costume
Costume carried symbolic meaning
All female roles in a play were played by boys rather than women
Women weren’t expected to be good actors
The canopy on stage would often be painted to represent the heaven amongst stars
Just like there is a heaven, there is also a hell in the space between the stage and audience
🙏
u a real one 🙏
thank you so much 💖
Grazie sei un tesoro🙏🤲🙏
I love you

A fine, concise summary of the stagecraft used in Shakespeare's time. Well worth watching if you have any interest in Shakespeare or his time.
my English literature exam tomorrow made me watch this (love it)
What they tell you: "Shakespeare is the most widely read author in the English language and his plays are performed all over the English speaking world!"
What they don't tell you: "...because people are forced to read and watch it."

Thank you for such a concise and useful overview of the Globe Theatre!
